Christmas: Avoid intoxicants while celebrating, says cleric to followers
A cleric, Rev.Fr. Leonard Ojorgu, has admonished
Christian faithful against drinking alcohol and
other intoxicants as they celebrated Christmas.
Ojorgu, who is the Assistant Parish Priest of St.
Peter’s Catholic Church, Ediba, Calabar, gave the
advice during the Christmas church service in
Calabar.
He also cautioned followers on the dangers of
borrowing huge sums of money that would later
become financial burden on them just in the name
of celebrating the occasion.
According to him, the month of January is usually
a very difficult period for many families because
of the Christmas and New Year expenditures,
hence the need for all parents and adults to spend
wisely.
“Today is the celebration of the birth of Christ. It
is not a day to drink to stupor because you want
to celebrate.
“Christians should use this period to re-unite
themselves with Christ who is the infant Jesus of
today; Christmas should be celebrated in a
peaceful way and not the other way round.
“During this period, I also urge Christians to stay
away from fornication, adultery and other forms
of sins that may be against the teachings of
Christ,’’ he said.
The cleric called on well-meaning Nigerians to
use this period to assist the sick and needy

There’s only 1 U.S. President, I am till Jan. 20, 2017, Obama warns Trump
Outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama has
told incoming President Donald Trump to
accept the fact that there is only one U.S.
President at a time.
Obama also told the president-elect that he
remains the U.S. President till Jan. 20, 2017,
when he would complete his two-term
presidency of the U.S. and handover to Trump.
Obama’s remarks followed what the White
House termed as Trump’s undue interference
in U.S. policies since his election.
Also ther president-elect had on Thursday,
directed the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Ms
Samantha Power, to veto the Security Council’s
Resolution on Israeli settlements in Palestinian
territory.
However, the Obama’s administration
disregarded Trump’s directive and had gone
ahead to abstain from voting on the resolution
when it finally came up on Friday, drawing
criticisms from the president-elect and his
team.
The White House, in a response by Obama’s
Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic
Communications, Mr Ben Rhodes, obtained by
NAN, said the UN Security Council’s Resolution
was a policy issue that Trump should not
meddle in.
“On the President-elect, the first thing I’d just
say is that there’s one President at a time.
“President Obama is the President of the
United States until January 20th, and we are
taking this action (abstention), of course, as
U.S. policy,” he said.
Rhodes explained that there was no any
communication between the White House and
the President-elect or his staff between when
Obama made his decision and when the vote
took place.
“So I’m not aware that President Obama and
the President-elect spoke about this, but again,
I’m not — President Obama definitely made no
reference to that, so I can’t confirm that this
hasn’t come up at all, but I’m not aware of any
particular conversation they had about this.
“We did hear from the President-elect’s team.
Again, our position has been there’s one
President at a time.
“We’re going to make our decision on this and,
frankly, believe that it’s important that there’s a
principle here that the world understands who
is speaking on behalf of the United States until
January 20th and who is speaking on behalf of
the United States after January 20th.
“And look, the new team will have every
opportunity after January 20th to pursue their
own policies, to take different approaches.
“I’m certain that they will on any number of
issues.
“We’re just reflecting the simple principle that I
think has guided the President-elect transitions
historically.
“Which is that there is one President at a time
and we’re going to execute our duties until the
new team is in place and the new President is
inaugurated,” the Obama’s aide said.
Recalled that following the pressure that Trump
reportedly put on Egypt, the sponsor of the
resolution, Egypt withdrew it on Thursday and
the vote was consequently delayed till Friday.
However, the resolution was put forward on
Friday by Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal and
Venezuela and the 15-member Council adopted
the resolution by a vote of 14 in favour and with
one abstention – the U.S., which abstained
from voting rather than veto the resolution.

Photo: Man stabs mum to death in Abeokuta
33-year-old Segun Ogunlusi, pictured below, has
been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command
for allegedly killing his 60-year-old mother,
Abimbola Ogunlusi, and later burying her in a
soakaway.
Punch reports that the incident occurred on
Tuesday, December 13, 2016, on Oketunde Street,
Molatori, Ogijo, in the Sagamu Local Government
Area of the state.
The suspect was arrested following a report from
his younger sister, Yetunde Ogunlusi.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola
Oyeyemi, said Yetunde had reported to the police
that she left their mother at home when she was
going to work on Tuesday, December 13,
2016.
But when she got back home at about 7.15pm, she
could not find her mother. Oyeyemi said,
“She further stated that when she inquired from her
elder brother, Segun, who was at home with their
mother, the explanation given by her brother was
not satisfactory enough.
“Based on her report, the Divisional Police Officer,
Ogijo Division, Ahmed Tijani, led a team of
policemen to the house situated on Oketunde Street,
Molatori, Ogijo, and the suspect was promptly
arrested.”
Oyeyemi said during investigation, the police
discovered that the Segun stabbed his mother to
death and hurriedly buried her in a soakaway very
close to the house.
“The reason for his action is still under
investigation,” Oyeyemi added.
The PPRO said the state Commissioner of Police,
Ahmed Iliyasu, had directed that the case be
transferred to the homicide section of the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department,
Eleweran , Abeokuta.
Lady robbed on Eko bridge last night narrates her traumatizing experience
TasalaHQ CEO was robbed last night on Eko bridge.
She narrates how 6 armed robbers attacked her
and her driver below.
The most traumatizing thing that has EVER
happened in my life happened this evening.
After an amazing day at @tfdseries , I was stuck in
traffic on Eko bridge, literally 5 mins away from
home. Next thing I know both the front and back
windows of my car were smashed in by armed
robbers. My driver was driving and I was in the
back. There were 2 on each side and 2 on standby
literally just grabbing everything they could from the
car. My handbag and another bag.
One even grabbed my wrist as my phone was in my
hand. @bsrasaki @fifidilly this was while I was
chatting with you guys. It happened so fast I could
not even comprehend what was going on.
My driver immediately got out of the car and told
me to get in the drivers seat and drive home
immediately. I was so shaken I couldn't move at
first but had to snap out of it. The saddest part is
that no one tried to help as my driver attempted to
hold one of them down. There were so many cars
and people on the road but everyone just looked
on.
I thank God that we are both safe, alive and well.
Everything that was lost was material and the car
can be fixed. I've heard these stories before but in
my 4 years of living in Nigeria, this was a first for
me.
Apparently these things happen more during the
festive season. Please let us all be extra careful
and vigilant. These are hard times in Nigeria and
people are desperate. Keep safe!! I'm just super
grateful to God that we were not physically harmed.
The thieves can enjoy rocking my handbag and my
possessions for all I care �� #staysafe #Nigeria.
